What is a wine tasting for couples?
Why choose a wine tasting for couples in the Penedès?
The way we do things
We create experiences for couples that combine intimacy, learning and the pleasure of wine. Every tasting is designed so you feel at home, in a close, informal atmosphere and at your own pace. Sessions can take place in our winery, in a corner reserved just for you, or outdoors among the vines, with the option of adding a food pairing or a vineyard walk to round off the experience.

Blind tasting for couples
In this blind tasting, sight plays no part: only smell and taste will guide you through wines from different regions and styles. With no labels and no clues, you will discover how perception changes when you let your senses do the talking, and find out whether your tastes match as closely as you think. A surprising, playful experience, perfect for couples who want to laugh, challenge each other and get to know one another a little better, glass by glass.

What do we do? A guided blind tasting of several wines with small challenges for two: guessing the grape variety, the colour or the region and comparing each other’s answers. A fun experience full of discoveries that turns the tasting into a game for two.
Tasting with food pairing for couples
An experience for couples who want to go one step further and discover how wine changes when paired with the right bite. You will taste a selection of Penedès wines paired with local products — cheeses, cured meats, chocolate or seasonal tapas — and learn why some combinations work and others don’t. A romantic, gourmet plan to enjoy at leisure, ideal for a special date, an anniversary or a gift that is sure to please.
- Duration: approximately 2 h.
- Participants: 2 people; private table for the couple.
- Price: per person; ask about the seasonal pairing menu.
- Location: at our estate in Lavern (Subirats, Penedès).
- Dates: scheduled sessions at El Jardí or on request on the date of your choice.
What do we do? A guided wine tasting paired with local products. You will try each wine on its own and then with food, discovering how the contrast or harmony between wine and bite transforms aromas, flavours and textures. All explained in a practical, down-to-earth way.
Tasting among the vines for couples
An outdoor experience for couples who want to experience wine at its source. We begin with a walk through the estate’s vineyards to understand the soil, the grape varieties and the vine’s growing cycle, and finish with a guided tasting in the open air, with views over the Penedès. A different romantic plan to reconnect with nature, enjoy the landscape and share a glass in an unforgettable setting, especially at sunset.
- Duration: approximately 2 h (walk + tasting).
- Participants: 2 people; private experience for the couple.
- Price: per person; ask about the sunset option and food pairing.
- Location: the vineyards of our estate in Lavern (Subirats, Penedès).
- Dates: spring to autumn, on request and weather permitting.
What do we do? A guided walk among the vines followed by a tasting of wines made from the grapes grown right there. You will learn how the soil, the climate and the way the vines are grown leave their mark in the glass, while enjoying a private corner in the middle of nature.
Frequently asked questions about wine tastings for couples
Is the tasting just for the two of us, or do we share a table with other people?
The tasting for couples is a private experience: the table is exclusively yours and the sommelier is dedicated to your session only. If you prefer a more social atmosphere, we also run group tastings.
Do we need to know about wine to take part?
No. Our tastings are designed for all levels, from couples who have never done a tasting to wine enthusiasts. All you need is curiosity and a willingness to share.
Can a wine tasting for couples be given as a gift?
Yes. It is one of our most requested gifts for anniversaries, Valentine’s Day or birthdays. We provide an open-dated gift voucher so the couple can choose when to come.
Where do the tastings take place and how do we get there from Barcelona?
At our estate in Lavern (Subirats, Penedès), about 45 minutes by car from Barcelona, with train access to Lavern-Subirats station. We can also organise the tasting at a venue of your choice for a special occasion.
Can we add something special, such as an anniversary or a proposal?
Of course. We can arrange personalised touches: a special pairing, a sunset tasting among the vines, a surprise message or a bottle to take home. Tell us about the occasion in the form and we will tailor it for you.
